About Me

This blog is my blissful journal of happiness. It’s about everything I adore and people I love. Thanks for stopping by. If you would like to write me, please feel free to email me: diana.mieczan@hotmail.comHave a jolly good day!

Last night while having dinner at our local hummus bistro I
got totally distracted by the girl at the next table. She wore a very simple
tunic-like black dress, low ponytail and chrome colour nails. I’ve seen that
shade used on toes before but never on fingers and it looked oh-la-la beautiful! Of
course the girl noticed me staring (go figure), so I awkwardly blurted
out how much I like her nails. Btw: the colour she wore was
from the latest Essie collection 'mirror metallics'. I found it in Target this morning;
it’s called 'no place like chrome'. Bingo!

I'm in love! But how are the nails in these pics so shiny? The color swatches I've seen online are no where near being this shiny! I've been gunning for this mirror like chrome look got quite some time!

As you can see under the post, these pics were not hers and we're taken from another blog. Which means they are probably not even done with the same nail polish. Hence the lack of mirrored chrome finish when you use the "No Place Like Chrome" polish. I've seen the mirrored finish done with foil appliqués, but not polish. I'd advise getting those for the best results.

I have had a manicure just like this before but it was a set of Minx nail wraps. I work for Sephora and I have NEVER seen a polish with that kind of opacity and shine before. My professional (albeit unasked for) opinion is that it is some kind of wrap. Sally Hansen and OPI both make great sets.
